Chapter 408: Chapter 246: Barbecue, Beer, and Sleeping Together_2 Chapter 408: Chapter 246: Barbecue, Beer, and Sleeping Together_2 She attended an ordinary second-tier university, and currently, she works as a teacher at a training institution.
The work is complicated and exhausting, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.
She has always been trying to get a better job.
If a foreign company were to hire her, even just as a clerk, she would be so excited that she couldn’t sleep.
“Speaking of which, we haven’t even looked up this company yet, let’s see if it’s as aweso as Xue said,” He Xiaohui clenched her fist and took out her phone from her bag.
She opened a browser and started searching for “Slover (HK) Trust Company Limited”.
During the al earlier, Lin Muxue had ntioned the company many tis, and she had morized the na.
“Found it, there’s an official site, but it’s all in English.”
“Let see,” Li Da imdiately leaned in.
He was a top student in high school, and he attended a 985 top university; his English was impeccable.
Gazing over the majestic website interface, Li Da murmured, “The investnt managent team cos from Kate Fund and Sinsight Capital, the investnt cases are all in the high-tech industry, and according to the introduction, there are quite a few well-known unicorns.”
“What are these two companies?” He Xiaohui asked, her teeth hurting listening to all this.
“I don’t know either,” Li Da said with an embarrassed smile, casually searching [Kate Fund], and this ti there was a lot of information in Chinese.
They could all understand it.
Soon, their expressions beca frozen.
[Founded in 1918, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, United States, one of the world’s top asset custodian and financial services companies… with the Kate family managing assets of over 15 trillion dollars…]
“Uh… seems like it really is that impressive,” Li Da smacked his lips, looking at his silent old classmates, not sure what to say.
…
On the sparsely trafficked outer ring road.
Streetlights created a sinuous ribbon of light, vanishing into the dark distance.
“Vroom vroom vroom~~” The sound of the engine roared ceaselessly.
The slightly dry evening breeze passed through the open car window, lifting Lin Muxue’s hair.
Music with a rich texture played from the 20 Nami speakers.
‘♪BGM: Want to listen to the music you’ve heard, want to read the novels you’ve read, I want to collect every mont…’
Her face bore an excited smile, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
Today had been anything but calm for her.
Joining Gathering Emotion Gold with an annual salary of a million, showing up her old classmates, a Bentley Continental…
Scenes flashed through her mind, stimulating her dopamine to secrete wildly.
To calm her restless heart, she drove the Bentley Continental, valued at nearly 4 million yuan, at high speed for over twenty minutes.
She checked the ti.
Lin Muxue took an exit off the outer ring road, driving in a specific direction.
As the car entered an old and worn-down neighborhood, the rich aroma of barbecue hit her.
At a nearby barbecue stall, a middle-aged woman with sweat all over her face was grilling skewers, with the air blower blowing “whirring” amidst the smoke and fire.
Next to her, a girl of about ten was occasionally helping pass condints and ingredients.
Lin Muxue narrowed her eyes slightly and drove the car directly over.
Seeing the approaching Bentley Continental, the middle-aged woman shouted into the open window: “Boss, isn’t your car too fancy? My barbeque smoke could choke people to death, you better not park here!”
The car window rose, and the car slowly stopped in front of the stall, with a “click” — the door was gently opened.
Lin Muxue stood up elegantly, smiling: “No worries, I’ll just buy and leave. Boss, give thirty lamb skewers, twenty beef skewers, and then…
Her words carried the heavy accent of Shanxi province, making the middle-aged woman feel a sense of warmth.
Imdiately afterward, the woman’s gaze went blank as she opened her mouth and said, “You are… Xue?”
“Yeah, it’s .” Lin Muxue smiled broadly, nodding her head towards the stunned little girl: “Just like that, Weiwei has grown up so much.”
“Exactly, I haven’t seen you for over two years!”
“Sister Xue.” Weiwei greeted her softly, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity and timidity.
After a brief exchange.
The middle-aged woman chatted with Lin Muxue while grilling skewers, occasionally glancing at her attire and the large Bentley behind her.
Lin Muxue chatted idly with her while observing her surroundings.
This place was right next to “Yan City Vocational Technical College”, her university.
She used to frequent this barbecue stall because they were all from Shanxi, and the owner often gave her an extra skewer or two.
It was one of her rare fond mories.
However, since graduation, she had not co back, as she had been focused on checking in and taking photos at high-end venues.
Today, for so reason, she felt like coming back to take another look, to eat the skewers here, to see familiar faces.
After receiving a big bag of delicious barbecue, Lin Muxue took out her phone to scan and pay.
She waved, saying, “I’m off then, bye, bye Weiwei~”
With a “bang”, the car door closed.
Watching the Bentley Continental slowly drive away, Weiwei whispered, “Mom, Sister Xue gave a thousand yuan.”
…
The car stopped outside a 24-hour convenience store just outside YJHT.
Lin Muxue bought another bag full of various brands of beer, cocktails, and sparkling wine.
A few minutes later, she rang the doorbell at Zhao Yaqian’s place.
The door quickly opened, and He Liting exclaid, “Xue?”
Lin Muxue shook the two big bags in her hands, smiling with curving eyes, “I brought so late-night snacks and beer, want to join?”
He Liting was taken aback, then promptly nodded, “Sure! Thanks, Xue!”
“Don’t ntion it, we’re friends after all,” Lin Muxue smiled coolly and walked in.
